<h2>Searching for a given text</h2>





		
<p><b>Password Safe</b> allows you to search for entries with a given
  text. This is useful if you don't recall the name of an entry, but
  have a good idea regarding the contents, e.g., <em>the entry with
  "Mary" in the Notes</em>.</p>

<p> To search an open Safe, press Ctrl-F (or Edit-&gt;Find...). A toolbar
  appears above the status bar at the bottom of the application's
  windows similar to the following:</p>
<p><img style="width: 404px; height: 31px;" alt="Find bar" src="images/find_bar.jpg"></p>



<p>The simplest way to use this is to just enter the text you're
  looking for, and then press Enter or click on the magnifying glass
  icon to the right of the text field. The number of matching entries
  (if any) will be displayed in the right side of the toolbar, and the
  first matching entry will be selected and emphasized. Pressing Enter
  (or clicking on the magnifying glass) repeatedly will move to the
  next matching entry. When all entries have been
  selected, <b>Password Safe</b> will cycle back to the first.</p>


<ul>

  <li>To close the Find toolbar, click on the 'x' to the left of the
  text, or type Ctrl-F again.</li>

  <li>By default, the search is case <em>insensitive</em>. To toggle
  between case-sensitive and case-insensitive search, press on the
  'AA' button, which changes to 'Aa' when the search is
  case-sensitive.</li>

  <li>To perform a more advance search, such as restricting the search
  to a subset of entries, determine which fields to search, etc.,
  click on the "..." icon.</li>

  <li>To clear the search text, click on the eraser button.
    </li>
</ul>
